What are you watching/reading/listening to?

[Sam Slater]

I read and did an essay on The Woman in Black years ago for GCSE English. Great easy reading and still have it on my bookshelf I think. Might go reread it one day and may enjoy it more knowing I don't see it as revision.

Still have the essay on a floppy disk too!

I have the Horses album. It's on my phone and I was listening to it quite a lot throughout last summer. Great album.

Only have Astral Weeks and Moondance. Not listened much to his later stuff yet.

Went through a phase of watching plenty of classic films a few summers ago and bought Double Indemnity. Great film.

Has anyone read the Maus comic(s)?

[Arginald Valleywater]

And will be starting on Max Hasting's history of WW2.....

Just reading "The Complete Maus" at the moment, was recommended a while back and only just got around to buying it.

Also readng at the same time "The End" Germany 1944-45 by Ian Kershaw, an excellent read.

On a lighter note, catching up with the earlier series of "Mad Men" on dvd.

Started 'The End' the other day. Excellent so far.

Right now I'm in my back garden, sun's blazing down, cool beer in my hand and got this on the ipod.

Agreed, the one that Frank mentions above is excellent too, Hitler's Hangman: The Life of Heydrich, just finished that.

I have tended to limit my exposure to Hitler and his henchmen, preferring instead to concentrate on his nemesis Stalin, to my mind a far more interesting character. So in response to your suggestion, may I put forward 'Stalin and his Hangmen' by Donald Rayfield.
